Color: Garnet red with brown edges. Nose/Smell: Lots of green peppers and plums, moderate intensity. Slightly chalky as well. Palate/Taste: Slightly more acidity on the palate than expected. Low tannins (4.5/10) with a moderate body. Savory on the palate, kind of like a meaty stew. Opinion: This probably should of been had a couple years ago if you still wanted a lot of power in the wine. Considering that, this has done an expectional job for 13 years!

Decanted for an hour. Heavy chalk nose with a hint of dark dust. 7/10 tannins with fruity sweet cassis. More body than the Clos Malvern Auret. Not as great as I would have liked. Maybe longer decanting next time.
